What are the additional fees for large companies under L-1?

L-1 fees are not a single fixed amount: they vary based on the type of petition, the chosen filing option, and each company’s circumstances. There is the base petition fee, an anti-fraud fee that applies in most new cases, and, optionally, the expedited processing service (Premium Processing), which carries its own separate cost.

Regarding the specific question about large employers: in certain situations, larger employers that meet specific conditions may be subject to additional fees established by law. This is not an automatic surcharge simply for being a large company, but rather charges that depend on the employer’s profile and workforce composition.

• There is a petition fee and an anti-fraud fee in most new cases.
• Premium Processing is optional and has a separate cost.
• Certain large employers may face additional fees as provided by law.

Because fee amounts are updated periodically and each situation is different, do not rely on figures from memory: verify current amounts directly at the official source (USCIS) or with a specialist before budgeting the process.
